All Day Coverage stays Silky Smooth, Even Complexion

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.

I originally started using Lavera products in New York by online ordering...I had tried a few others, and I am glad I did not give up on my search for the right product.

As a foundation:
Provides excellent coverage, no need for a cover stick, and lasts all day and well into the evening without any re-application needed. Does not become powdery or have a cake like feel. I use the ivory and blends in well and easily, does not make me look like a ghost as some foundations do. After putting on the blusher and the rest of the make-up, my skin still feels light and breezy, my skin can still breathe, does not clog my pores.

Texture:
Silky Smooth, non-greasy, soft and gentle

Scent:
Does not have any scent, appears to be perfume free

Compact:
Love the compact, the foundation is on top and comes with a second compartment that holds an applicator sponge.

Great new discovery!

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this compact foundation following a recommendation from a friend. I have used Bare Minerals powder foundation for the past 7+ years but wanted a change for 2018. I have pale, freckled, sensitive skin. The reason I began looking for a new foundation, was because I found my skin got quite shiny with the Bare Minerals (even if I used setting powder after applying it) so I was curious to try something new. A friend recommended the Lavera foundation.

I have only been using it (ivory shade) for two days, but already I am very impressed. I was pleasantly surprised that the shade suits my skin tone so well, because they only have 3 different shades I think. Application with the compact sponge was very easy, and my skin is very dry because it is Winter at the moment, but even with dry skin the foundation didn't highlight the dry patches any more than any other foundation would at this time of year. It sits really well on my face all day, feels very light and doesn't cling to my skin the way Bare Minerals did when I'd wash off my make-up at the end of the day. I definitely notice a reduction in shine on my face (which was my main aim when changing foundation) and it takes me a lot less time to do my make up in the morning now before work!

As I said, it has only been two days so I am not sure if I will have any breakouts as a result of changing to a new product (my skin will break out a little bit at the slightest change to my routine) but I will update if I find any negatives over the next few months.

Really happy with it at the moment, and definitely recommend it to anyone with similar skin-type to me, looking for a more natural foundation alternative.

I also bought a Lavera eye shadow palette and the colours are so vibrant - love that too! Thanks Lavera - I'm happy to have made the switch ;)

Not sure yet

Rated with 3 out of 5 stars.

I am in doubt about this product.

The color is a bit darker than expected, but since it is summer time and my skin has seen a couple of sunny days, this isn't too bad.

It feels a bit cakey applying it and looks very oily and not so natural. But then after waiting a minute and finishing with the loose powder it does actually look nice and okay.

Won't be using this during the daytime, but for party's and such I think it is a good foundation to use.

Good

Rated with 4 out of 5 stars.

All together a good makeup base. Could be a hint bit more moisturising, since it makes my dry areas pop out more. But this is normal for me in cold winter months. Great coverage, but wears off quick when touching. The unpleasent smell disappears soon after applying. Handy packing with sponge and mirror. Geat product! Shade ivory is lighter than Lavera Natural Liquid foundation ivory light, so this is good color for pale skin.

too heavy

Rated with 3 out of 5 stars.

I like the fact that the color Ivory is perfect for me and it is not heavily fragranced. Coverage is really good but the feel of this foundation is very heavy. It is also not seamless. I can see it on top of my skin and I can feel it and I feel made up. My skintype is dry on the winter and more oily on the summer. I can imagine this looking terrible on my dry winter skintype becuase it is so thick that it would not be seamless. I applied with a brush, and then it was the worst and thickest. Sponge is better but your fingertips are the best tool for thinnest aplication. I dont think I will repurchase.

very nice

Rated with 4 out of 5 stars.

a little oil for my skin but I like it.

Fantastic!

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.

Really good compact foundation. Ivory works great on me, it has great coverage, so i don't really need a concealer (i often use light BB cream under it or just a usual face cream). And it stays on great. Overall it is an amazing product! Found it because of this review http://greenmakeup.wordpress.com/2014/06/19/how-to-wear-this-summer-makeup-trends/ and i am really happy about it, because before that the only compact i liked was from the body shop, but this is more natural and far more better!

Good but...

Rated with 4 out of 5 stars.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this product but, as my skin is oily at the moment, it doesn't stay on all that well. I think when my skin improves I will like this. The colour ivory is fine on me (fair to medium with freckles) and it gives medium coverage. Because I've started using mineral foundations I don't think I've given this product enough of a chance yet. I may review again in a few months.
